Direct Answer
Is there a pet camera app that auto-answers when nobody is home?
Yes. Call Pet supports auto-answer on the home Monitor. Once the devices are paired and the Monitor is left in Call Pet's supported foreground standby state, the Controller can start a call without someone at home tapping an accept button.
Why it fits this query
- ✓ Monitor can answer Controller calls automatically
- ✓ No person or pet needs to touch the home device
- ✓ Useful for checking pets while at work or traveling
- ✓ Monitor must remain in the supported foreground standby state
- ✓ Auto-answer does not mean the app works while the device is locked or backgrounded
Best for

- ✓ Pets home alone with nobody available to accept a call
- ✓ Spare-device pet-camera setups
Not best for
- ✓ Users who require the Monitor device to stay locked
